Shallow Lyrics

[Bradley Cooper:]
Tell me somethin' girl
Are you happy in this modern world?
Or do you need more?
Is there somethin' else you're searchin' for?

I'm falling
In all the good times I find myself longin' for change
And in the bad times I fear myself

[Lady Gaga:]
Tell me something boy
Aren't you tired tryin' to fill that void?
Or do you need more?
Ain't it hard keeping it so hardcore?

I'm falling
In all the good times I find myself longin' for change
And in the bad times I fear myself

I'm off the deep end, watch as I pe in
I'll never meet the ground
Crash through the surface, where they can't hurt us
We're far from the shallow now

[Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper:]
In the sha-ha-sha-ha-low
In the sha-ha-sha-la-la-la-low
In the sha-ha-sha-ha-ha-low
We're far from the shallow now

[Lady Gaga:]
Wooaaaah
Woaaaaaaaaaaah

I'm off the deep end, watch as I pe in
I'll never meet the ground
Crash through the surface, where they can't hurt us
We're far from the shallow now

[Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper:]
In the sha-ha-sha-ha-low
In the sha-ha-sha-la-la-la-low
In the sha-ha-sha-ha-ha-low
We're far from the shallow now

A star is born

More than just a collection of tunes that were featured in the movie, this soundtrack aims to recreate the whole experience of the latest A Star Is Born, with dialogue snippets and multiple versions of the same numbers, just like in the film. Preserving the almost documentary-like quality of the musical performances also allows this record to hold onto the tension at the heart of the picture: between the earthy spontaneity of the rootsy alt-rock that Bradley Cooper’s character Jackson Maine sings (with words and music contributed by the likes of Jason Isbell and Lukas Nelson, son of Willie) and the more polished, practiced pop of Lady Gaga’s Ally. As Vulture, the songs tell a story, about the different ways of retaining some personal expression within the soulless behemoth that is the modern American recording industry.
